hi,
I am a 21-year-old Indian. from my childhood I never felt comfortable in my body. people used to call me a tomboy and my parents still force me to behave as a girl. I always felt happy behaving like a boy or dressing like a boy. my parents don't like when I behave like a boy or cut my hair short, one time my mother freaked out when I cut my hair short. it hurts most of the time. I was sent to boarding school when I was 15 years old. I used to feel diff before but after joining I felt diff that I am not supposed to join here in an all-girls boarding school. I don't know what I was feeling back then. when I entered 19 I came to know about trans and FTM transmission. I thought dating someone would solve it but no I felt even more uncomfortable.
I don't know how to come out to my parents. I am afraid of getting thrown out and they will see me as a disappointment in the family. there aren't many trans people in India.
I don't know what to do. I need some advice to explain them without them kicking me out of the family.
Guddu, I will be the first to confess a pretty substantial lack of knowledge of India, and your customs. I'm sorry, I just don't. But please look in Social -> Member Directory, you can search for other people that may be near by. Or under Places -> Local Places, you can search for all sorts of things that may be near you. Maybe there is someone in our listing that you can at least message. If you think of something I might be able to help with, please let me know. Michelle
